Golfer’s Elbow
This injury (also called medial epicondylitis) affects a tendon at the medial aspect of the elbow that connects to the medial epicondyle of the elbow. Forearm flexor muscles and pronator muscles are connected to the medial epicondyle of the elbow by a common flexor tendon. Since golfer's elbow is an overuse injury, it can result from repetitive work activities such as wrist-turning or hand-gripping, not just swinging golf clubs.

Pain occurs at the medial side of the elbow, sometimes radiating up or down the arm. This injury can be debilitating and can potentially worsen without proper treatment. Rest, rehabilitation, medication, steroid injection, and other treatments may be necessary in order to prevent this condition from worsening. (See also: Tennis Elbow Surgery)
